Fun Trivia:

The entire beginning of this stage has the exact same layout as the beginning of the Sigma Palace Stage 1 from Mega Man X (SNES). The second section where you have to ascend vertically (and the boss) is also a throwback to Sigma Palace Stage 2 from the same game. Not to mention, the boss of this stage marks the return of Rangda Bangda from the original Mega Man X. Yet another blast from the past. I should probably also mention the boss battle theme used here is a rendition of the Sigma Palace boss theme from Mega Man X. I dunno if Capcom was just being lazy, or they're geniuses.

As far as the actual gameplay, I chose the Gaea Armor for this stage. Yeah, you do give up some mobility (which makes ascending the stage a bit more difficult) and special weapons. But trust me when I say being able to touch the spikes here pays off in the end. And hey, Gaea Armor is a powerhouse when it comes down to it.

Rangda Bangda II is actually tougher than the original. Whereas in the original game the eyes only shot a few little bullets at a time, these upgraded eyes basically act like machine guns. The blue eye still does the same thing however. Watch out for another new trick Rangda Bangda II has up its sleeve. When it's health is 1/2 depleted, spikes will emerge from the walls, effectively halving your safe space on the walls and not giving you much room for error. This is probably the best reason why you would want to bring Gaea Armor into this fight. The only way to prevent this is to destroy the orange center piece first although you will have to deal with the rest of the eyes with the walls closed this way.
